I think Foxpro for DOS 2.6 was the best version of Foxpro.
Relative to what other database products competing with Foxpro could do FPD2.6 was amazing.
Giant table sizes .... incredibly fast query search and recordset retrieval.

I really like advanced reporting capabilities and rich GUI that is easily programmed.
However, a databases first job is to store and retrieve data.

Compared to its rivals in the 1994 marketplace FPD2.6 was far and away the best database product.
